About this Event
Please join us for the virtual program Lowe Connects: Revolutionary Things. University of Miami’s Associate Professor of History, Ashli White will discuss her recently published book Revolutionary Things: Material Culture and Politics in the Late Eighteenth-Century Atlantic World. Beginning with James Gillray’s 1793 engraving, Dumourier Dining in State at St. James’s from the Lowe Art Museum’s collection, White will explore the unique ways that a wide range of objects associated with the American, French, and Haitian revolutions crisscrossed the ocean and shaped how people understood contested concepts like equality, freedom, and solidarity. White explains how these "revolutionary things" became a means through which diverse individuals—enslaved and free, women and men, poor and elite—promoted, and sometimes tried to thwart, the realization of these ideals on the ground.
